I do not believe this. He said he wants it on every "device", not "systems or platforms".
Mobile devices is what is going to get the next big pushwith xCloud. 110 million PS4 sounds like a lot, but in the grand scheme of gaming it is eclipsed by mobile gaming by quite a bit. Every console generation, all the consoles combined always plateau at around 200 to 250 million or so, while billions of people have mobile phones. Fans of consoles forget it quite often cause we kinda live in our console world bubble, but the biggest gaming company by revenue in the world is Tencent, not Sony, not Nintendo or Microsoft. Microsoft already has the console corner covered with the Xbox, now they're looking to expand into mobile and smart TVs.
The fact that Phil Spencer just recently said that he doesn't see releasing their games on Nintendo Switch a sustainable thing to do long-term is clear to me, and I can only imagine Game Pass is even less.
